Love complains that the capaths documentation is insufficient and that the code is unclear.

Hi. Looking at the section in the Kerberos admin guide titled
capaths, the documentation looks fairly clear to me.

It does seem a bit complicated though.

Its not clear to me. I had to read it several times before understanding
it, and I'm not sure I understand it yet.

Serveral people (more the 4) that use mit kerberors have not been able to
explain it to me. That, I think, shows that something is wrong with the
text.

Love

Or that they had never read/looked at it.

If you can suggest specific improvements or questions that the text
does not answer, I'd be happy to consider such improvements/questions.

I just don't understand the text, I had to use the sourcecode to understand
it. An example how the transtiotion from on realm to another is acomplised
might help.

The documentation for capaths assumes an understanding of single-hop
cross-realm authentication, which wasn't documented in the
documentation of the 1.2.x releases. Which release's documentation
were you looking at? If you have not yet looked at the 1.3-beta2
documentation, please do so and let us know if it explains things any
better.
